are you sure that all of those email forms were filled out? You don't check if all of them are sent, and if some aren't, that will result in a BCC string like

my@email.com,other@email.com,,,ISkippedLines@email.com....

 

which would result in a malformed header and may cause your email to fail

[joel24]

or even using a foreach

$bcc=array;
foreach ($_POST as $key=>$value) {
if (strpos($key,'email')!==false && !empty($value)) {
$bcc[]=$value;
}
}

$bcc=implode(",",$bcc);

ok ok when i tested the script i sent it to test@hotmail.com so if one of the emails fails the emails after that will fail?

mail() does not care if the email address doesnt actually exist, as long as it is valid (by valid i mean correctly formed).

As long as an email address is accepted for delivery it shouldnt cause an issue.

To ensure your script has the best chance of success, you will need to remove all empty elements as mikesta707 said and test the emails to the best of your ability for validity.
